Bad: Blinkee.com

Blinkee.com is a website that aims to sell flashing items. So, they decided to make their website do the same. The page is very distracting, as it has a black background riddled with flashing animations and rainbow text. The bright, moving colors of these animations were too excess and made it very difficult to focus on and learn about the company's products. Also, the homepage did not fit my screen properly. There was an empty black bar on the right side of my screen that had no information, but took up about a quarter of my screen. Finally, the menu on the right side of the page featured categories of products. Each link was a different color from the last one, which made it distracting to read through the different categories.
I understand that while they were making the website, the creators were most likely trying to keep with the theme of their colorful, flashing, and fun products. However, I think that they took those aspects of the design a bit too far and instead made a distracting and ineffective website.
